Fly, my ghotis, fly!
The Flying Ghoti

The Wild Pack of Family Dogs Saga

A series of essays by Martin Marks

On Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006, I was in Istanbul, Turkey, one of the largest cities in Europe. I was alone, didn't speak the language, and had no way of contacting anyone. In an island of wilderness in the heart of the city, I met up with a gang of dangerous characters. This is the story of that day.

Prologue. In which I reminisce wistfully.
Bad Dogs! In which is related the story of the Good Dog and the Bad Dogs.
Ze Chermans. In which my luck starts turning around.
Kudus! Kudus! In which I am victorious over the Turkish state health care system.
Mummy Dearest. In which my mother shows off her connections.
Epilogue. In which I fail to die of rabies.
